Foreman
Foster Electric
(Construction industry)
May 2005 — January 2007 (1 year 9 months)
As an Electrical Foreman, I supervised multiple simultaneous projects valued from $12,000 to $270,000. I brought every job in under budget and never failed an inspection.

Foreman
Canyon Valley Electric
(Construction industry)
October 2004 — May 2005 (8 months)
I was hired as a referral from my previous employer's recommendation. I was told they do not hire foremen, so I hired in as a Journeyman. I quickly moved up the ladder. The project at Intel did not last long, and the company offered to take me to a Gold Mine project in Alaska. I declined becuase I did not want to relocate my family.

Foreman
Ludvik Electric
(Construction industry)
January 2003 — October 2004 (1 year 10 months)
I became a foreman on the largest construction project in the State of Colorado: The Denver Convention Center expansion. Consisting of 1.3 million square feet of convention flooring, ballroom area, and a parking garage. We rerouted a major city street and the RTD railway for the new expansion. Truly a remarkable feat of engineering.
Half-way through that project, I was asked to run my own. Actually, I was asked to take over and fix a project that 4 previous foremen were unable to finish. Upon arrival, only 25% of the project was completed, with over 50% of the already tight budget exhausted. While unable to quite fix the budget issue (I did come close), I did get the General Contractor to approve over $130,000 in extras to the contract.

General goto guy when the MPs called at 0200 with one of the Marines in the brig.
M60E machine gunner. M240G machine gunner, M2 .50cal machine gunner (I like guns... get the picture)
My best shot was hitting an AmTrak from just over 1000 yards on the first shot... while I was in a moving vehicle. Then I let the butterfly off and proceeded to warm the barrel... those were the days!
If I told you, I'd have to kill you.
